There are many keto and low-carb choices at the Persian Restaurant, for example:
- Grilled meat
- Grilled vegetable dishes

- Yogurt & Spices dips
Notice that many appetizers and main recipes are served with rice or bread.

My favorite keto options at the Iranian Restaurant
My favorite food at the Persian Restaurant is meat. I suggest ordering a mix with many types, so you can discover your favorite. I also suggest ordering veggies. The grilled veggies are very tasty. Also, I loved the cucumbers, spiced with dry mint.
Persian Restaurants I love (in the Netherlands)
So far, I tried 2 Persian Restaurants (both in Amsterdam) and I love them.
The Aardige Peers: famous as the best Persian Restaurant in Amsterdam. Is quite small, but cozy and traditional. It may not be the best for a group reservation.
Manoto: Bigger that The Aardige Pers, so ideal for big groups.
